Skill instructions
shadcn/ui A framework for building ui, components and design systems. Components are added as source code to the user's project via the CLI. IMPORTANT: Run all CLI commands using the project's package runner: npx shadcn@latest, pnpm dlx shadcn@latest, or bunx --bun shadcn@latest — based on the project's packageManager. Examples below use npx shadcn@latest but substitute the correct runner for the project. Current Project Context json !npx shadcn@latest info --json 2/dev/null || echo '{"error": "No shadcn project found. Run shadcn init first."}' The JSON above contains the project config and installed components. Use npx shadcn@latest docs <component to get documentation and example URLs for any component. Principles 1. Use existing components first. Use npx shadcn@latest search to check registries before writing custom UI. Check community registries too. 2. Compose, don't reinvent. Settings page = Tabs + Card + form controls. Dashboard = Sidebar + Card + Chart + Table. 3. Use built-in
